I agree but if they still made a sweet product now I think people would come here for it. Honestly jelly almost does a better job for live TV than emby. And that's free...

I'm disgusted that's it's been 3.5 years since I started this thread and we're still here, waiting, unknowing when this is coming. Beta cycles have been far too long. Does someone on the team not understand that this project has far too many clients/distros to support, that this kind of inability to make actual enhancements is severely hampered? Seriously... I'm sorry but, align your resources. Don't assume you can have as many variations as you do, and figure out how to move forward for a better experience for the majority of your current users than being stuck in the bug fix, everything on hold experience that you're currently putting out. Android for example is a major user base, but those users (including me), still have no idea when or how you're moving the apps forward. ATV should continue to live on forever, because, well... It's STILL better on a Tv interface than the primary Android app. I'll stop ranting. It just shouldn't take 5 years for a pretty much completed server end enhancement to see the light of day. Shameful.

Great, the two posts have now been merged. Hello, have you read through my post? Sorry for writing so much, but I want to make sure my thoughts come across clearly. @Luke@ebrAre you considering bring the design of “Emby for Android TV” (always display the current episode's poster) to the “Emby Universal App”? Thank you very much!

Hello , as I mentioned in this topic [Feature Request] Support for passing subtitles to third-party players

Alpha and Beta are for testing currently all emby products are beta. We had perfectly well designed recorded tv screen with all sorts of options now we have the new garbage view without any options accross all apps. So not only that emby is not going forward its going backwards. In beta they are testing modifications of views for home screen but for recorded tv introduced the horrendous useless view that is a pain in arse to use all the series thumbnails are gone and we have thumbnails of the actual recordings which most of the time its an advert. they dropped a major ball on this one they could have had thousands of new users from wmc community if this was released 3 or 4 years ago

Hi, have you taken a look at this: Backing up & Restoring Emby Server

Hi, I'm in the process of reinstalling Debian from scratch and I would like to backup and restore my emby server installation. Can you recommend a quick way of accomplishing that? The new system will have the same user and computer name if that helps. Thank you

This is fine, but the best way to test your remote access is by starting up an emby app and manually doing a new server connection to the remote address (while wifi is turned off). If you just turn off wifi and then do nothing else, then it could also be that the remote access is working but that the automatic recovery by the Emby app is not happening.

Why is it "silly" that everything is not free? We work very hard on Emby and that is not free. Thanks.

@ebrnone of my other users are receiving this message on chromecast, android app, Samsung tv app, LG tv app or via browser. Could it be that the ios app isn't free for some reason? That would be rather silly IMHO though.

I have exactly the same issue with the same hardware.

Can I ask why opus? Your TV does not natively support it.

Hi. Not all apps/features are free. Do you have Premiere on your server? Emby Premiere Feature Matrix However, we should not be asking your user to purchase Premiere so please make sure they don't do that.

This would be great to have.

He has been out of the picture for quite a while. We will need to take it down.

Now that Trakt only allows one device without VIP, have you thought about using Simkl? It seems they also provide region based Release Data on the Web page. The API provides broadcast data not as region based but ISO with Offset, but couldn't that be converted by the plugin based on the timezone setting set in it? Souce -> https://api.simkl.org/conventions/dates { "title": "Faceless Men", "description": "While Rhaenyra and Daemon focus on how best to deal with Ormund, tensions among their neglected allies begin to erupt.", "season": 3, "episode": 6, "type": "episode", "aired": true, "img": "20\/203532593c102da18e", "date": "2026-07-26T21:00:00-04:00", "ids": { "simkl_id": 14767323 } }

The best function for me in the Android for TV app over the Android app is the quick select to the right when in TV or Movies etc to quickly toggle on/off watched or favourites without going inside the filter function.

I tried granting one of my users access to my Emby server and while the browser via app.emby.media works fine, the iOS app doesn't. When the user tries to play any sort of media, they're immediately prompted to: * purchase premium for €7,99 * "unlock" for € 5,99 (whatever that means) * or to restore purchase. None of my other users receive this message. This user is on an iPhone 17 pro and I have a sneaking suspicion it has something to do with Apple stuff, hence why I'm posting here. Anyone have any clue?

Hi. Can you try searching for our standard android app (Just "Emby" on Amazon and "Emby for Android on Google) on the same device's app store and see how that compares? Thanks.

Well @MrNo0000says it works, so let's go with that factual response. Given the radio silence from Emby devs, perhaps they will provide via DM.

And I'm pretty sure I know what happened because one playlist I made was created using a different sign-in name and it was still set to private. When I made a new one it worked but I still didn't see the first one and that gave me the answer after a bit of thinking.

The OP was likely or is likely having a manic episode. All the signs are there. I hope he/she is feeling better.

it's working perfect and the procedure is so simple I can't imagine what happened.

@speechles No I don't think he is karma farming, but he indicated in the "Why Do People Pirate?" his state of mind he is mega bored and my wish for him was to get a handle on it. He is more like a Keyboard warrior, No-Lifer or Forum Addict, who in his advanced age likes to stay relevant, thus perfectly suited for Reddit. I visit this forum every day just in case something is posted about Emby and my experience since Media Browser can be helpful in solving a difficulty.
